INCONSIDERATE HASTE.

There are times when the experience O
others though familiar to all will not dete
men nor communies from committing
eggregious blunders, In business as Il
other matters. 1t is but comparatively ,
few years since the city Of Memphis
Tenn, went heels over head In debt il
constructing Nicholson pavement for it
streets, and before the city had cleverly
commenced paying for the Improvement
repairs were necessary and so wholly
worthless as to durability did the wooder
pavement prove to be that the city soor
found itself without any paved streets by
the new process-the wooden blocks hav
ing rotted and disappeared-and at the
same time burdened with a pondrous
debt. 1t was like paying for dead horse,
only worse, and after trying every expedi.
ent known to law to evade payment of the
debt without success the city was finally
driven to the extreme alternative of sur
rendering Its charter and placing Itself
under the states protection as taxing dis
trict, by which the property of the citizens
was made subject to taxation for state
and county purposes but not munich
pal. This action was simply
Reputation, but the citizens
claimed that it was unavoidable, since the
heavy debt already incurred added to the
necessary expense of doing the work of
making the streets over again, added to
other current expenses would have resulted
in virtual confscation Of the property of
the citizens the rate of taxation necessary to
meet it being so exorbitant that but few of
the weather. citizens would be able to pay
it. And the city of Memphis still remains
simply taxing district.
And yet, with this disastrous experience
of Memphis still standing out as a warning
to other cities against the use of wood in
paving streets, Kansas City is rushing
headlong into the same pitfall. That place
has planned to pave twenty miles of street
with wood blocks, and as if afraid she will
not get to the jumping off place. so to
speak, soon enough, she is crowding the
contractors and complaining because the
wooden blocks cannot be procured fast
enough.
1t is none of our funeral it is true, but
we cannot refrain from remarking such
evidences Of inconsiderate not to say fool
hardy action On the part of a community of
the enterprise and material progress that
Kansas City arrogates to itself.

In the Nineteenth Century, appears an
article by Mr. Gladstone, entitled Electoral
Facts of 1879" in which ne says that the
general election of 1886 indicated not the
conviction. but the perplexity of the coun-
try. He contends that the results of the
recent elections are equivalent TO an i'm
proved Liberal strength of 80 per cent, and
that, giving the Conservatives the benefit
of all doubts, new election would leave
the latter in minority of 105. This basis,
he continues, is too narrow to allow of q
demonstration of the expression of undue
confidence on the part Of the Liberals, but,
viewing the figures in cold blood, rational
Tory or dissident viii probably regard
them as of marked significance, and may
even begin to inquire, In reflective temp
er, where is all this to end9"

THE INDIAN TROUBLES,

From the dispatches passing between the
departments at Washington and the officials
at and near the scene of the recent Indian
troubles in Colorado it appears that the
Indians were not guilty Of the outrages
alleged against them; that they were peace.
ably hunting in territory which they be.
lieved treaty stipulations gave them the
right to; that while thus engaged they were
attacked by a band of cowboys in soldiers
dress; that after the fight that ensued the
Indians retired to their reservations and
have manifested no warlike feeling, only
asking for the return Of the property taakan
from them or abandoned In their retreat to
the reservation, and that Colorow the chief
who has been accused of precipitating the
conflict has not been on the war path ct
all, ard even since sustaining the losses In
ficted upon his people by the cowboys
shows no feeling of resentment except per
haps towards the irresponsible bandits who
brought about the trouble. In the minds
OF many people the name Indian carries
with it the idea of treachery, but it must
be admitted that the characteristic has been
developed in large measure by the double
dealing of the whites dating back to the
early history of the couatry~and that he
has been sinned against quite as much as
he has sinned. 1t is to be hoped that rep
aration will be promptly made for what
ever of harm the Indians suffered in this
last rencontre, and while frontier settlers
are protected against forays from the
Indians, which are not likely to occur, the
latter will be protected from encroachments
from whites and in the full enjoyments of
their treaty rights.
